All local associations/boards must designate and certify one person primarily responsible for administration of professional standards processes. NAR requires that all Professional Standards Administrators re-certify every four years, thereby meeting the learning objectives and minimum criteria established by NAR.

Sample topics are advertising, arbitration and mediation, broker practice, cold calling, contract issues, landlord-tenant law, procuring cause, real estate disclosures, and many more.

If you need legal advice from an attorney and you are a member of C.A.R., please visit the Legal Hotline page and complete the form.

Recently, the membership of C.A.R. has increased tremendously with thousands of new real estate licensees joining the ranks of those contacting the Legal Hotline for free legal advice. As a result, the Legal Hotline is flooded with calls, faxes, and e-mail requests. Unfortunately that may mean a delay of several days before receiving a phone call from one of the real estate attorneys on our staff. Our call center representatives who answer the phones, process your requests and forward them to the attorneys would greatly appreciate your understanding and patience.

Although the articles contain very valuable information, they are not regularly updated and, thus, it is imperative that members verify the accuracy of the legal information by consulting an attorney on the C.A.R. Legal Hotline.
